why do folder actions sometimes disable themselves?

Hi Guys,
I'm running a workflow as a folder action script & 99% of the time it works fine.
Just a couple of questions though....
1. If a file is dropped into the hot folder folder whilst the workflow is running, then obviously it isn't processed until another file is dropped in after the workflow has finished. Is there a way of modifying the folder action script so that it kicks off the workflow if there are more than zero items in the hot folder?
2. Sometimes for no apparent reason the folder action will disable itself. I'm assuming this is down to some network activity, but is there a way anyone knows of to stop this happening?

Cheers in advance for any advice!
